Chapter 344
There are two opportunities to fight twice, and Miles and I both get chosen to take those chosen to have an extra fight during the first round this morning, with Miles getting one l the day. I’m thankful mine is earlier. Because I’ll be fighting twice, my first battle is moved I have my initial fight in the matchup with Alpha Amelia as our referee.
It does take longer to win this morning, my first battle lasting an hour. Since my next battle with Gamma Caleb, Amelia’s Gamma, I’ll have to shift to a different referee. I get a couple o hours rest, before my next competition, going around and watching some of the other battles keeping an eye on my biggest competitors. Alpha Calvin, Beta Miles, and both Robin’s and Kayce’s Betas move to the next round. Then it’s time for me to battle Gamma Caleb.
I notice the other Betas come to watch my match, apparently taking in their competition, me
“You’ve got this, baby,” Kinsley says, giving me a kiss for luck. It turns out that I didn’t need i Caleb is another one that isn’t as good as he thinks he is. However, he doesn’t want to give in, even after I’ve obviously defeated him. I take him down two more times before Alpha Robin cal it. Caleb becomes irate, screaming that Robin is cheating and that the entire thing is rigged
It takes several Alphas’ presence to finally get him to calm down and accept defeat. Like the poo loser he is, he doesn’t shake hands with me, he just walks away in a huff.
Because we start early, we’re able to start the next round before lunch. This time. I’m closer to the end of the competition because I battled twice. I still feel good, but now that we’re down to twenty-seven, the battles are definitely lasting longer. This round. Miles takes the extra match. and he wins both of them.
Because we both won twice in our rounds, we’re still at odd numbers and Kavce’s Beta wins the toss for the next person to take an extra battle. While I’m interested in watching his matches, after mine is done. I realize that Miles and Calvin are fighting and most everyone who isn’t fighting is watching them When I walk up. I see Kinsley watching their fight.
“How long have they been going?” I ask her noticing that Hunter is refereeing this match
She looks at her watch “Nearly two hours.
Shit!” No wonder everyone is watching them. Both of them are pouring in sweat, but Calvin seems to be slowing down faster than Mijes Calvin is several years older than Miles, but I’m guessing it’s more than that Whether he doesn’t train as hard or everything going on with his
mate and newborn daughter are taking a toll on him, it isn’t long before I can see the tide of t battle turning in Miles’ favor.
The battle goes on for another hour and by then, all the competitors in this round is done, ever Kayce’s Beta who had to fight twice. Everyone has gathered around to watch this massive batt
Since I know my Alpha, I know he wants to call it, but he’s hoping that Calvin will concede doubt he will. He’s an Alpha and unlike Hunter, Calvin would not want to concede to a Beta. I watch as the other Alphas gather around, probably expecting the fight from Calvin. When Hunt calls it a tie, it takes Calvin a moment to realize that means that Miles won. Miles took an extra fight earlier and the whole point of that is to give one person the benefit if there is a tie as there now. Not unexpectedly, Calvin begins complaining, saying he can still fight, but the other Alph all step up, supporting Hunter, before Calvin finally concedes. To his credit, he was a gracious loser and shook Miles’ hand before leaving the ring.
By the time that battle ended, it was well past lunch time, and the next round started. Each of these took longer and longer. In the end, it was me and Miles as the final two. It had been a long exhausting day, but both of us wanted to be done, so we both agreed to fight
